1. Here's his CNN interview
It was right after the announcement from Obama.

3. Paul Rykoff (sp?) has really matured as a spokesman
he is able to get to the point quickly and clearly before they run out of time. He does an excellent job on the air. And the veterans need a voice in this group - lobbying for the needs of the vets who have already given so much and deserve to be treated well.

4. It's wonderful to see this progress
Maybe the perception that Dems don't support our military will fade a little more in times to come.
